Description: Compute the standard suite of climate indices from daily
        weather observations. Provides the canonical 'ETCCDI' 27
        (Expert Team on Climate Change Detection and Indices), the
        'ET-SCI' heatwave and cold-wave families plus the Excess Heat
        Factor of Nairn and Fawcett (2013), and agroclimatic, drought,
        and human-comfort families. Drought indices ('SPI', 'SPEI')
        accept a choice of distribution (gamma or Pearson III for SPI;
        log-logistic or generalised extreme value for SPEI). Reference
        evapotranspiration is available via Hargreaves and the FAO-56
        Penman-Monteith method (Allen et al. 1998). Percentile-based
        indices support the Zhang (2005) in-base bootstrap. Daily
        inputs are numeric vectors plus a 'Date' vector; outputs are
        tidy data frames. Optional gridded support via 'terra' applies
        any index over a 'SpatRaster' and reads 'netCDF' input. No
        external API calls; pairs with data packages such as
        'readnoaa'. References: Alexander et al. (2006)
